Gaëtane Thiney's attempt flies into the sky over Bondoufle.
All the PSG players sprint towards Katarzyna Kiedrzynek.
The Polish goalkeeper had stopped the third shot on goal for Paris FC from Clara Mateo who burst into tears.
Jostled by Paris FC, PSG therefore escaped on penalties against Paris FC after a match with a twist (3-3).
If Fleury had managed to overcome a glass ceiling by eliminating Lyon the day before, Paris FC still cannot do it against PSG.
It's getting closer but it still hasn't happened since the Parisian club absorbed Juvisy in 2017. We will be treated to an unprecedented PSG-Fleury in the final of the Coupe de France in Montpellier on May 4.
It wasn't Charléty, but there was still a nice atmosphere (4,359 spectators) for this semi-final relocated to Bondoufle.
At least the pitch where Paris FC beat Le Havre (3-2) on Wednesday in a late D1 Arkema match was more than adequate.

Trailing twice, Paris FC managed to come back twice.
Sandrine Soubeyrand's team even took the advantage (3-2, 70th) thanks to Louna Ribadeira, the striker in form of the moment, after her hat-trick on Wednesday against Le Havre.
The feat was underway.
But Paris FC only lasted fifteen minutes.
After a shot from Sandy Baltimore on the post (82nd), Tabitha Chawinga equalized (3-3, 85th) after an action where she imposed her power and her pivotal play.

The altercation between teammates in the French team, Julie Dufour and Sakina Karchaoui, which electrified the benches, was indicative of the tension which animated the end of the match.

But it was PSG who managed the penalty shootout better by achieving a flawless performance unlike Paris FC who suffered two failures (Mateo, Thiney).
“Arbitration?
I found that he was rather favorable to PSG”
At a press conference, Jocelyn Prêcheur was more angry than relieved.
“We alternated between the very good and things that shouldn’t happen,” believes the PSG coach.
We lacked aggression, we let them come back.
We made mistakes that annoy me.
We knew that the environment would be hostile, that there was everything to bring us down.
I don't want to talk about certain things, like refereeing.
It must come down to me... But in the management of emotions, we see that progress takes a long time.
When we are against the wall like against Bayern, we manage to let go.
But we are in the reaction.

“We are frustrated with the result,” recognizes Sandrine Soubeyrand.
Arbitration?
I found that he was rather favorable to PSG.
But I am proud of what we offered in the game. We scored three goals at PSG.
Individually, they are above us, but we have shown collective mastery.
At 3-2, we must nevertheless defend better.
But when we have Chawinga and Katoto on our backs for 90 minutes... I nevertheless remain optimistic for the future, we must persevere.
We are getting closer to PSG, we put them in difficulty, we showed a good face.
What bothers me, however, is that on Wednesday we had to play a championship match while PSG was in front of their sofa... In terms of fairness, this is not normal.
Julie (Dufour) must know how to control herself, that must serve as a lesson to us.
